New Yellowknife Primary Care Centre Now Open

The new Yellowknife Primary Care Centre has officially opened to the public, providing Yellowknife residents with extended care hours and a broader range of services. Created to combine existing downtown clinics in one location, the new Centre is the latest initiative from the Government of the Northwest Territories aimed at improving care services for NWT residents.

“As a government, we’re always looking for ways in which to improve the care that we offer to NWT residents,” said Minister of Health and Social Services Sandy Lee. “By combining the clinics, we can provide more services to our residents while ensuring that our system continues to run affordably and efficiently.”

The Primary Care Centre is a key component of Yellowknife Health and Social Services’ new system of One Clinic, Two Sites. Consisting of the Primary Care Centre and the Frame Lake Family Health Clinic, the system is aimed at providing expanded services for Northerners, including increased accessibility for people with disabilities, decreased wait times to see a practitioner, and extended hours.
